BAFTA Awards 2018

Yes, it’s that time again when the awards are being dished out. With the Oscars just two weeks away (3rd March) and voting for those awards taking place this Monday, it’s perfect timing for the British Academy Awards to be given out, hopefully, this will lead the voters who might have not decided.

As usual, I have the complete list with my predictions (which will be in green If I get it right, they will turn red). Come back on Monday to see how well I have done.

Alternatively, hear how I did this Tuesday at 11 on www.zackfm.com on Movie Weekly
